It's a bird, it's a plannnt? City Nature Challenge 2026!

** THESE EVENTS ARE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MEETUP GROUP: Long Beach, Alcohol Free Activities and Adventures. If the event is sold out here, there may be seats left in the Meetup group. You can join us here: https://www.meetup.com/long-beach-alcohol-free-activities-adventures/ **

Let’s turn a simple walk into a mini nature adventure.
We’ll be outside in the sun, getting some easy exercise, and using a plant ID app to discover, identify, and document the plants and flowers we see along the way. It’s surprisingly fun. You point your phone at a leaf or flower, the app helps identify it, and you can save what you find like your own little nature journal.
Free to help, but you must pre-register here and sign a waiver:

What makes this event awesome:

• It feels like a scavenger hunt, but for plants and flowers
• You’ll learn a ton without it feeling like “homework”
• It’s a great excuse to get outside and move your body
• You’ll leave with a photo log of what you found, plus new plant knowledge
• We are joining hundreds of cities across the world

### What to bring:

• Your phone (with the plant ID app downloaded, if you want)
• Water, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses
• Comfortable walking shoes
• Curiosity and a little patience while we stop to scan cool plants

We’ll keep it chill and beginner-friendly. No plant knowledge needed. If you’ve ever walked past something pretty and thought “what IS that?” this is for you.
